The SFY 2025 Adult Day Reporting Center Grant Program (DRCE), funded by the State of Maryland through the Governor's Office of Crime Prevention and Policy, aims to support local jurisdictions in implementing or enhancing Adult Day Reporting Centers. These centers provide community-based services and treatment to individuals under pretrial or probation supervision or those sentenced directly to a Day Reporting Center. The primary goal is to reduce recidivism, jail and prison populations, and corrections-related costs by offering a comprehensive range of services, including counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, drug treatment, educational remediation, job training, and intensive supervision. The program targets non-violent individuals and focuses on addressing criminogenic needs such as substance use, anger management, employment, education, and life skills. The Governor's Office anticipates awarding up to three grants, ranging between $90,000 to $270,000, to support these efforts.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is offering its 2024 Natural Disaster Recovery (NDR) Grant. This program aims to aid communities in restoring their urban tree canopy after natural disasters by funding the planting of replacement trees. This initiative directly aligns with the broader mission of environmental stewardship and community resilience, focusing on re-establishing critical natural infrastructure within urban areas. The grant seeks to mitigate the long-term environmental and aesthetic damage caused by natural disasters, thereby contributing to the overall well-being and sustainability of affected communities. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are municipalities and 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations within Indiana. The target impact is the recovery and enhancement of urban tree canopies, which in turn offers numerous environmental benefits such as improved air quality, reduced urban heat island effect, enhanced stormwater management, and increased biodiversity. The program also encourages community engagement, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and local involvement in environmental recovery efforts, which can lead to more sustainable outcomes and stronger community bonds. The grant prioritizes the planting of trees native to Indiana and explicitly excludes the purchase of maples (Acer genus) unless specific conditions are met, demonstrating a commitment to ecological integrity and the prevention of monoculture. Beyond tree planting, the grant also supports crucial urban forestry management tools, including community tree inventories, canopy assessments, management plans, and storm response plans. These tools are vital for a proactive and strategic approach to urban forestry, enabling communities to not only recover from disasters but also to build more resilient and effectively managed tree populations for the future. Expected outcomes include a measurable increase in urban tree canopy coverage in disaster-affected areas, improved community preparedness for future natural disasters through comprehensive management and response plans, and a heightened level of community engagement in local environmental initiatives. Measurable results will likely be tracked through the number of trees planted, the development and implementation of urban forestry plans, and the scope of community participation. The underlying theory of change is that by providing targeted financial assistance for tree recovery and urban forestry planning, IDNR can empower local entities to rebuild stronger, more sustainable, and more beautiful communities capable of withstanding future environmental challenges. Funding for project requests ranges from a minimum of $1,000 to a maximum of $20,000, with an overall available fund of $40,000. This ensures that a diverse range of projects, from small-scale plantings to more comprehensive planning initiatives, can be supported. Eligible activities include the creation or updating of tree inventories and canopy assessments, the development or review of management/response plans, and tree planting projects that incorporate community engagement. The emphasis on native species and strategic planning reflects a thoughtful approach to environmental restoration and long-term ecological health.

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Grant Program, announced by the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in partnership with the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), aims to reduce violent crime and promote safe communities across the Eastern District of Virginia. The program's core mission aligns with the broader goal of enhancing public safety and improving the overall criminal justice system within the Commonwealth. DCJS, as the State Administrative Agency, is responsible for managing the coordination and distribution of these federal funds, ensuring that the grants support a comprehensive, collaborative, and community-based approach to violent crime reduction. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are the communities within the Eastern District of Virginia, particularly those with increased rates of violent crime and gang activity. The program specifically targets local and state law enforcement agencies, local and state governmental entities, educational institutions, and 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations serving this district. The impact goals are centered on the reduction of gun violence and gang activity, leading to safer neighborhoods. Three regions—Richmond, Newport News, and Norfolk—will receive funding preference due to being most impacted by violent crime, though other cities with high violent crime rates will also be considered. The program prioritizes projects that enhance progress toward specific funding areas. These include Group Violence Intervention (GVI), which focuses on prevention and intervention through partnerships between law enforcement, local government, and the community, delivering credible moral messages against violence, and offering support to individuals. Another key area is Gun and Gang Crime Investigation/Suppression, which supports programs or task forces targeting perpetrators of gun and gang-related crimes, emphasizing multiagency cooperation. Firearms Analysis programs are also prioritized to enhance and support state and local law enforcement agencies in analyzing firearms and ballistic evidence, including NIBIN analysis and tracing. Finally, Prevention and Reentry Programs are crucial, dedicated to violent crime prevention, identifying high-risk individuals, and facilitating successful reentry of offenders through housing, educational, and vocational partnerships. The expected outcomes of the PSN Grant Program are a measurable reduction in violent crime, particularly gun violence and gang activity, and the promotion of safer communities throughout the Eastern District of Virginia. The program seeks to achieve these outcomes through the implementation of evidence-based strategies and collaborative efforts. The funding information indicates approximately $295,000 available for this solicitation, with applicants able to apply for funds between $25,000 and $200,000. Grants will be awarded for a twelve-month period, with a possible extension to 24 months based on demonstrated need, allowing for sustained efforts and the achievement of long-term impact in addressing violent crime.

The **California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)** administers the **Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Grant Program** to help local governments develop and operate safe, effective systems for managing household hazardous waste. This program provides financial assistance to improve public health and environmental protection by reducing the improper disposal of hazardous materials such as paints, batteries, solvents, and cleaning agents. Through funding and technical support, CalRecycle enables communities across California to expand their waste prevention, recycling, and education efforts in ways that make long-term environmental stewardship more sustainable. Each year, approximately **$1.5 million** is allocated to this program, depending on available state funding. The grants support a wide range of activities related to household hazardous waste management. Eligible projects may include **public education campaigns** that teach residents how to reduce or safely dispose of hazardous materials; **source reduction programs** that minimize waste generation at its origin; **reuse and recycling initiatives** that recover valuable resources from discarded items; and **collection systems**, such as drop-off facilities and mobile collection events. Funding can also support **load-check programs**, which prevent hazardous materials from entering municipal solid waste streams. Eligibility is limited to **local governments and entities directly responsible for HHW management** in California. This includes cities, counties, and combined city-county jurisdictions, as well as **regional or local sanitation and waste management agencies**. **Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs)** with solid or hazardous waste management responsibilities may also apply. In addition, **Qualifying Tribal Entities** are eligible if they are federally recognized or can demonstrate governmental authority consistent with the program’s requirements. The inclusion of tribal governments reflects CalRecycle’s commitment to equitable access and environmental justice throughout the state. The HHW Grant Program is an integral part of California’s broader environmental protection strategy, ensuring that hazardous materials are managed responsibly and that communities have the infrastructure needed to prevent pollution.
